Kindergarten Teacher

Our Vision

We pursue vibrant and energetic teachers who are passionate about inspiring a new generation of learners by teaching them to strive for excellence in all things, serve others above themselves, and grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.

We embrace the opportunity to build Godly relationships and seize every moment to help the students recognize and develop the gifts and talents that their Creator has given to them.

We value independent thinking, creative learning opportunities and value the power found in a team of teachers working together to make an eternal impact in the lives of our students and their families.

Bakersfield is a city in Kern County, California, about 100 miles north of Los Angeles. With a population of over 400,000, it is the 9th most populous city in California. Bakersfield’s economy is built largely on agriculture and oil production. The city has 60 parks and is located less than two hours from playing in the beautiful Pacific Ocean and skiing in the snow-capped Sierra Nevada Mountains. The city is home to Cal-
State University – Bakersfield, as well as several other smaller colleges. Bakersfield is home to a diverse social scene ranging from the famous Buck Owens Crystal Palace, several museums, five state-of-the-art movie theaters, a community theater, and Mechanics Bank Arena, Arena, and Conference Center. Housing in Bakersfield is surprisingly affordable as the city is one of the last places in California that is not struggling with the difficulties caused by the skyrocketing home prices throughout the rest of the state.
